Recent Emerald Isle reviews

First trip to Emerald Isle made that much better.

"We had a wonderful time in this house. Everything was as advertised and the owners were delightful to work with. This house is beautiful and well maintained. The kids loved having access to their own pool. The short walk to the beach was over before you knew it and the quiet almost empty beach made for relaxing time with plenty of room to spread out.
If I had to come up with anything negative it would have to be the ice maker in the fridge. I'm not sure if it was jammed or what, but, dispensing ice was a challange and the water in the door came out at a trickle.. These issues were quickly overlooked however, as everthing else made up for it.
Thank you so much for allowing us into your home."

Excellent House. Excellent Owner.

"We had a great week at 3rd watch. The house was awesome. Perfect for our family with three young children. There are two beach accesses very close by. One of them is all sand and has no stairs, which is helpful for getting young kids and all the gear to the beach. The beach was excellent with a very gradual slope. The kids really enjoyed the sand and water. We liked the open layout of the kitchen, dining area, and TV area. The Wi-Fi worked great. We all enjoyed the outdoor shower. The mini golf and Food Lion were fun to walk to, about 0.4 miles away. The ice cream shop and the pier were about 1.0 mile away. Definitely would recommend this house. Linda was very helpful. She answered all of my questions and replied quickly. My wife even lost her driver's license at the house and Linda helped coordinate its successful return. Great beach house!"

A beautiful home and amazing beach!

"From the moment that we stepped into Wait N' Sea we felt right at home. This was our first time at Emerald Isle and renting an oceanfront home and boy were we spoiled. We have two small children and it was awesome to walk right out on the beach and not have to lug the kids and all that stuff at once! We have always been OBX lovers and we thought EI offered a wide,clean beach. We were able to walk right in the water easily, see dolphins swimming from the shoreline, and visit cute little towns like Beaufort & Swansboro.
The house was lovely with great views from every room. It was well equipped and comfy with plenty of seating for everyone.We would definitely visit again and would love to spend another week in your home. Thank you for great memories."

Wonderful family-oriented home

"Arrived the day after Christmas and found all in order and extremely clean. Plenty of room for our three families to be together as well as find some quiet time for naps. The house is complete with baby equipment, kids' toys and games as well as beach chairs, towels and umbrellas. We have rented numerous homes through the years and this is one of the very best. Emerald Isle is a beautiful island and this house has easy access to groceries and most other necessities. Although most of the touristy type places were closed because it was off season, we enjoyed time on the beach, watching the dolphins and made day trips to nearby Fort Macon, the aquarium and Beaufort. Owners were easy to contact and responded to any questions immediately. We will definitely consider Dealer's Deck East again!"
